Thanks! And good job to you on your pre-req GPA. Wow, AP I & II at the same time sounds pretty rough. Good luck! As far as the HESI, to be completely honest it was not that difficult for me. And I am in no way trying to brag. What I did is just checked out (for free!) a HESI study guide from my school's library (HBU) and studied everything in there. Although it was pretty much common sense, of course some questions being more difficult than others. Any questions on a particular subject you're worried about?

I found this link on UTHSC's website, not sure if it will be useful or not.

I took my exam at Houston Baptist so the registration procedure was pretty simple.

Let me know if you have anymore questions! :)

I wish the best of luck to everyone. I think the application deadline for Fall 2012 is Jan 15, 2012.

Overall GPA: 4.0

Science GPA: 4.0

Hesi: 93.2

Critical thinking: 890

And by the way there are not going to be any interviews for the Fall.

Hi there!

I am planning on applying in January as well. From what I have seen and heard the application deadline is January 15, 2012 for FALL 2012 admission. I wish it was all the way into April...

I am going out on a limb and hoping that by great chance I get accepted the first time. I have ALL of the prereqs required except AP II, Micro, Chem, and Philosophy! But it says they require 8 science credits to be completed before application. (it sucks because I can finish the 4 classes before fall 2012). I took intro to AP this summer (made an A) and I'm currently in AP I. I've made an A on all exams and labs this far so I am sure I will end the class with an A. My pre req's gpa is 3.2 and I am going to a HESI review tomorrow at LSC-Montgomery to prepare myself before taking the entrance test. I am also current with all immunizations and will get CPR certified before applying, just to cover all my bases.

Good Luck to all of you!! :) I really hope I make it in the first application because I would hate to wait an entire year to start when I only have 4 classes left! Optimism is what I am sticking with

Desjt3 try to be optimistic about it, just try to do good on your pre-reqs and you will do fine. I wish you the best of luck on the hesi test.

Hey guys! I am applying to UTHSC-Houston, TWU and UTMB in Galveston. I am taking A &P II currently at Lone Star College and will be finished with all prerequisites in December. So far my grades are as follows:

Pre-Req GPA: 3.85

Science: 4.0

Overall: 3.3

I haven't taken the Hesi or TEAS yet because I wanted to finish A&P II first. I am scheduled to take both of them in December. I'm looking forward to hearing results in Apr-May of next year! Best of luck to everyone and hope everyone's semester is going well!

Hey Everyone!! I'm glad that there are others that are applying to the Fall 2012. I'm applying for the traditional BSN program. How about y'all? I've taken all my sciences except for Chemistry 1, but I'm taking that now. I took the HESI back in August and didn't do as well as I had wanted I'm really reconsidering redoing the test, I'm just afraid that I might do worse and then where would I be? Do y'all think I should retake the HESI?

Pre-Req GPA: 3.6875 (however they might round it from there)

Science GPA: 4.0

HESI: 87.86

Critical Thinking: 850

I will also be applying to UTMB, but UTHSC is my first choice. I am signing up to take the TEAS on Dec 29..... I sure hope I do well, because if I can't get into UTHSC, then UTMB is my only other option. TWU requires some additional coursework..... And I am so tired of pre-reqs lol Anyone here taken the TEAS yet? And if so would you say it was easier than the HESI or harder?

Gladiator_80 · Oct 31, 2011

Hemphia,

I think your Overall and Science GPA r very good... You also have a good Hesi score... I think you should not worry about it so much. If you think you can do better on the Hesi then retake it otherwise I would stick to the first one. I have not taken the Teas yet, but my friends who have already taken it say that it was harder than the Hesi.

Best of luck to you and hopefully you will get in with no problems.

Hemphia · Oct 31, 2011

Gladiator_80,

Are you applying to UTMB as well? Or just UTHSC? If you are gonna take the TEAS, I have had several friends who got into the Spring 12 at UTMB, say it was easier than the HESI..... but I guess every person is so different... lol!

Best of luck to everyone here!

Gladiator_80 · Oct 31, 2011

Hemphia,

I am not sure about applying to UTMB, until now I was planning to apply only to UTHSC coz that is where I want to be :) But a thought has been crossing my mind to take the Teas just in case...... If I do take the Teas it would be in the end of Dec......
